Figure 4. Denudation rates for the basins shown in Figure 1 plotted against their respective average hillslope gradients. A broadly linear trend between the two is apparent where hillslope gradients are low (on the plateau). This trend breaks down for hillslopes of approximately 30° (found mostly in the southern regions of the mountains). Using space-for-time substitution, the left to right trajectory of this plot represents the progressive development of threshold hillslopes during mountain building (modified from Binnie et al., 2007).
